If you have written a poem you think would appeal to 7-11-year olds, then why not enter the The Caterpillar Poetry Prize 2025? The prize is open to anyone over 16, and the poem can be on any subject.
THE JUDGE
Kate Wakeling's work has been awarded the CLiPPA prize for children's poetry and nominated for the Carnegie Medal and has been praised as ‘clever, funny, inspiring' (The Sunday Times) and ‘both limpidly welcoming and profoundly meaningful' (Guardian). Her collections have variously been selected as Books of the Month in the Guardian, The Scotsman and The Sunday Times.
The winning poem will feature in the Irish Times online.
Closing date 31 March 2025
